WARM-O-RAMA:
*Let it be known that the PAX (via much comz on GroupMe were given AMPLE forewarning that today’s HIGHLY RECOMMENDED COLOR was…GREEN. Just post to the BC wearing a sprinkling of GREEN…’visible’ to the naked eye of a 47 year-old Scots-Irishman (YHC).  Well, not ALL 23 PAX obeyed- 4 did not (3 + 1 FNG)…and we were collectively disciplined but learning 1 was wearing GREEN undies (again…not visible…mind you) and we won’t name any names but it rhymes with Hookie:

*Burpees x17 (b/c 17th day of March) OYO X 3 sets to account for 3 of the PAX not obliging the holiday dress code
*Shamrock Pickers (might not be in EXicon just yet)…just like TTT and/or CP but different b/c the PAX was picking Shamrocks…x17 IC.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

YHC who happens to be Scots-Irish dropped some Irish Wisdom from The Little Book of Irish Wisdom on the PAX:

*ON AWAKENING:
‘May God and the Virgin Mary, who have
brought myself and my children from the
sleep of death last night to the brightness of
today, bring us safe from all danger and
deliver us from the enemy of both body and soul.’

‘May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings,
Slow to make enemies,
Quick to make friends,
But rich or poor, quick or slow,
May you know nothing
but happiness
From this day forward.’

‘You’ll never plough a field by turning it over in your mind.’

…then followed that by a reminder and encouragement that SAFETY comes 1st with F3 and each PAX needs to handle his personal family affairs like he handles his fitness affairs; like having life insurance in place. Family matters matter.  Cover your family in case life happens-and it will-then come get stronger with your brothers at F3.
